Pros

Variable amount of your salary is very less. Which leads to good take home amount. Bench/Free pool is very less

Cons

Insanely tiny amount of salary ( specially if you are a fresher , applicable to lateral too) Work pressure is way too high ( a fresher will realize after 1 yr ) Work life balance is non-existent( they don't funcking care about anything except their benefit ) Reward and recolonization are ( non- monetary ) . Monetary rewards are compensation for poor hike. Work culture is very disgusting. ( lead will be vocal to you on the floor for late coming, your onshore counter part is your boss , their remark/comments are your escalation, you can not disagree to them etc) Lots and lots of cost cutting activity you will see year by year ( like seat sharing, desk sharing etc.) Most of the CGI offices (Hyderabad, Bangalore) they are highly unhygienic, unattended. Your growth inversely proportional to your team mates growth and senior's presence.

Pros

no specific positives to highlight from my perspective

Cons

I worked at CGI in both India and the USA and observed similar workplace culture concerns across both locations. The only real difference was HR—India HR felt more supportive, while my experience with USA HR was disappointing. My employment ended shortly after maternity leave due to an alleged “lack of projects,” which I experienced as a layoff. I also observed what appeared to be misuse of position by some leaders, including blurred professional boundaries, preferential treatment, and expectations that went beyond normal workplace roles—at times resembling personal-assistant-style demands rather than professional conduct. Surprisingly, I also noticed inconsistent “policies” applied differently to different individuals. In some cases, it felt like the rules changed depending on who you were. When leadership became aware that someone was related to another employee in the organization, it sometimes felt like that person was singled out or targeted rather than treated objectively. Overall, these practices—whether through inconsistent treatment, perceived power misuse, or favoritism—undermine trust, damage workplace culture, and raise serious concerns about fairness and professionalism.
